Problem Urgent!!

Hi guys this is pretty urgent!

A little while ago i locked up on a roundabout n hit a curb on the n/s front wheel. I took it to get the tracking done n it came back ok. On saturday i was in the middle of fitting my new 3g discs and i noticed something wierd about the old pads, the one on the back of the disc has worn alot more than one on the front. Then as i put the new discs and pads on and tightened up the caliper bolts, the disc wouldnt sit straight on the hub. Then when i put the wheel back on it wouldnt spin freely.
One of my mates said its gota be the strut by the decription i gave him.
Any suggestions?
Sorry about the essay!!
Cheers
Ben

you have probally got a bent hub and caliper carrier.
The struts can take alot of shit though
99% sure its the hub and carrier though

Did you push the piston back into the calliper?? Sounds like you havent
The inner pad will wear quicker than the outer, as its got the preasure from the piston right behind it.

Not usually it doesnt, the otherside is fine. Im guessing the caliper is part seized but sumthin must be bent cos the disc wont sit straight on the hub
